About the beach
Cittadella beach, within Palmi (the province of Reggio Calabria, Calabria), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
“Cittadella beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
The beach faces northwest (295°). It is most sheltered when the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
